The recent bad economic news for Minnesota's Iron Range got worse today. The L-T-V Steel Plant in Hoyt Lakes is closing at the end of this week. One thousand workers will lose their jobs.

Last week L-T-V filed for bankruptcy, leading to today's announcement, that Saturday will be the last work day in Hoyt Lakes. Minnesota Public Radio's Chris Julin has more.
